The Artist ~ John Newby

John’s passion for art started as a young boy, copying his favourite comic book characters. He developed his natural born talents by taking art classes in high school and later, by entering the Ontario College of Art.

However, it would be some years later before his life long past time of art would turn into a full time career.

Often favourably compared to Norman Rockwell, John has gained international acclaim for his art work especially with his Memories of Childhood collection.

As a father of four it is not surprising that many of his art pieces were inspired by his own children, especially where minor hockey is concerned.

Parents often think they see their own children in John’s paintings. His personal technique of allowing just small amounts of detail on each child’s face let’s the viewers imagination to take over. John Newby is credited as the first Canadian artist to perfect this technique.
